Our goal is always to help as many patients as possible during these challenging times.

Colds and other ailments don’t wait to strike when it’s convenient for you; that’s why we make it our mission to be here when you need immediate access to providers who care.

- Colds
- Congestion
- Flu
- Sinus infections
- Sore throat
- Fevers

- Shortness of breath
- Earaches and ear infections
The flu can cause an array of unpleasant symptoms, including coughing, body aches, fever, and sore throat. Unfortunately, it can also be especially dangerous for seniors, infants, and people who have compromised immune systems. Each year, thousands of people suffer flu-related deaths. For this reason, it’s important to see a provider when symptoms worsen or become unmanageable.
These days, doctors are better able to treat the flu, thanks to modern antiviral medications such as rimantadine (Flumadine), oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza), and amantadine (Symmetrel), which can alleviate serious symptoms by reducing the duration of the illness. However, these medications are not helpful for everyone, so it is important to see a provider to determine if the medications could be beneficial for you.
With that said, it can be difficult for flu sufferers to get quick attention from family practitioners who are often too busy for immediate appointments.
At Reliable MD we are here for you and our goal is to get you in for an Ailment Check ASAP!
